Gold Coins from Around the World

For thousands of years, gold has represented real money - universally valued, portable, and readily traded. Around the world, many governments issue sovereign gold coins. Generally, these are legal tender issue in the country of issue, with weight and purity guaranteed by the minting authority. Next to United States legal tender coins, these coins represent the most liquid form of gold a private investor can hold.

Sovereign mints around the world typically strike gold coins with weights corresponding to American Eagle gold coins. One-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce, and tenth-ounce sizes are commonly represented. China's Panda gold coins are struck in metric weights that correspond very closely to the Troy-ounce standard.
